When you add their numbers together you get 207 . Jen's number is 9 more than Carrie's, and Fran's number is 3 less than Jen's n

murzikaleks [220]

Answer: Fran's number is 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Jen's number.

Let y represent Carrie's number.

Let z represent Fran's number.

When you add their numbers together you get 207. This means that

x + y + z = 207 - - - - - - - - - -1

Jen's number is 9 more than Carrie's number. It means that

y = x - 9

Fran's number is 3 less than Jen's number. It means that

z = x - 3

Substituting y = x - 9 and z = x - 3 into equation 1, it becomes.

x + x - 9 + x - 3 = 207

3x - 12 = 207

3x = 207 + 12 = 219

x = 219/3 = 73

y = x - 9 = 73 - 9

y = 64

z = x - 3 = 73 - 3

z = 70

Let f(x) -4x - 6 and g(x) = 3x + 5. Find (fºg)(-3).

Allushta [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(g(-3)

g(-3) = 3(-3) = -9 - 5 = -14

f(-14)= -4(-14) - 6 = 56 - 6 = 50

The number of patients treated at Dr. Artin’s dentist office each day was recorded for nine days. These are the data: 6, 6, 6, 5

klemol [59]

Answer:

D) 5.6, 6, 6, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we start solving this problem, we need to first rearrange the provided data from smallest to greatest, so we get:

5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6

now we can find the mean. The mean is nothing but the average of the provided values, so we need to add them and then divide them into the total amount of data:

$mean=\frac{5+5+5+5+6+6+6+6+6}{9}=5.6$

next, in an odd number of data, the median is the middle number when written in order. In this case the middle number (the one in the position 5) is 6, so:

median=6

the mode will tell you what is the value that has the greatest number of occurrencies. This is the number that appears the most on our list.

Mode=6

and the range is the difference between the greatest value and the smallest value:

Range=6-5=1

so the answer is D.

Help plz what is 7-6v=-5-8v

kirill115 [55]

v=-6 is the right answer. First you had to subtract by 7 from both sides of equation, and it gave us, $7-6v-7=-5-8v-7$ . And then simplify, and it gave us, $-6v=-8v-12$ . You can also add by 8v from both sides of equation, and it gave us, $-6v+8v=-8v-12+8v$ . Next simplify, and it gave us, $2v=-12$ . Then you divide by 2 from both sides of equation, and it gave us, $\frac{2v}{2}=\frac{-12}{2}$ . And finally simplify, and it gave us the answer is v=-6 is the right answer. Hope this helps! And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day. -Charlie
